As a matter of interest John, how did you guess that painting had been moved to Gemäldegalerie? Is there an educational story therein? History2007 (talk) 12:23, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well they have all reshuffled post-1989 & the Wall coming down, plus a load of building, now more or less complete. The KWM, renamed Bode Museum, was in the DDR, & now has no paintings. I was there earlier in the year, though I didn't go to the Bode. I can't swear it's physically in the Gemäldegalerie, now with a new building, as they lend a few to others in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin group, but it is certainly part of their collection, and probably on display there, though I can't say I remember it. The thing most people understandably get wrong is that the "Staatliche Museen" (or the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (German: Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz), who always get the photo credit, are the umbrella admin body, and not a museum or location as such, that things can be "in". It can be tricky working out which museum now has other stuff though, but paintings pre-1800 are now nearly always Gemäldegalerie. Johnbod (talk) 15:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Title
Nice work, but isn't
Madonna of Humility more correct, as a proper name for a distinct artistic subject? Johnbod (talk) 16:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply

I don't really mind either way. Is it a big deal? History2007 (talk) 07:47, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
